-Fest is a now well-established suffix derived from the German word Fest meaning ‘festival, celebration’. It occurred first in American English in the late 19th century in the word gabfest meaning ‘a gathering for talking’ and spread rapidly to produce other words. It is now very freely used and produces terms such as slugfest, lovefest, and ladyfest.
